ryan,
You're killing me dude!
Is that yours and what model is it? The reason I ask is that my dad used to work for Cavalier when I was kid. He did a lot of post mod test flying on the Cavalier birds.
Have you ever seen a RR Dart powered P-51?
Check it out. Here a couple photos from the good old days at the Cavalier factory in SRQ.
A heavily modified version of the P-51 which was being marketed as a light attack aircraft to third world countries.
A standard export version Cavalier mod with optional tip tanks. Check the additional hard points under the wings.
That is really awesome and I'm sure you have a lot of cool pictures from the Cavalier days! We need to talk some more...
The Mustang (a P-51D) is absolutely not mine (I wish!!), it belongs to a friend of mine who is an all around awesome guy.... so far no jet (I've flown) can compare to the smell of fuel during the start and the vibrating raw power of a take off!
